Oooo heard so much about this wanton mee at Sims avenue and ooooo today we finally tried it ..
Every item was well executed.. nothing to fault !
Loved the springy noodles ($4 and generous amount), charsiew (fat-free) and the most outstanding was the 猪油渣 😱 being to fresh and crispy !!

Oh and my hubb loved the 水饺🥟s

Everything 满分💯！

For a plate of regular wanton mee, you get 3 dumplings in the side of soup. For upsized, you get 6 dumplings and arguably more char siew. If we had known, we wouldn’t have purchased the soup! For $3, the soup had a GENEROUS amount of wanton, probably more than 10 inside!
That aside, we waited for our serving for about half an hour because of how popular it is. I appreciate their generosity of wantons in the soup. The boiled wantons itself were small, but filled with ingredients as well. However, there was nothing surprising about its flavour, not much sweetness to it.
The winner of this wanton mee would be the charsiew. The flavour of the charsiew was amazing. It had a sweet charred flavour to it, complementing the tangy, well-textures egg noodles that would come second in place.
The wanton mee here is oil-based, and you can choose to add dark sauce to it yourself. If I had known I would have done it! While I cannot confirm that I would return, if I do, I will definitely takeaway as it is quite difficult to secure a seat in the small Coffeeshop.
Worth the experience! Especially if you are out and about looking for the better wanton mees in Singapore.

Great news for fans of Koung's Wanton Mee especially if you reside in the West.

The popular wanton mee from the East has set up an outlet here at JEM, right beside Jurong East MRT Station.

I was thrilled when I saw the charred bits on the thickly sliced char siew as this only meant the barbecued meat is roasted instead of dyed.
.
Despite being mostly lean meat, the texture is not dry at all. On the contrary, it is juicy and tender. I could even taste the sweet marinade on the exterior.
.
The wanton wrapper has to be the thickest I have tried to date. Not sure if the wrappers were specially made according to their requirements but I realized they are more resilient to breaking. Texture wise, it is firmer thus not as supple as the thinner ones.
.
I like the springy bite of the thicker-than-usual noodle which picks up the tossing sauce pretty well. I believe pork lard oil is part of the sweet and savory tossing mix that makes it taste so good. Although I requested for extra spicy, I did not feel the heat.

If you are a hardcore Wanton Mee fan, you won't be unfamiliar with them. They are so popular that some even says this is one of the best wantan mee in Singapore! ⠀

Even though we had it for take-away 2hrs later, surprisingly the noodles weren't soggy at all. Springy, firm egg noodles were still easily separated and evenly tossed in their flavorful ketchup gravy. For a standard $4 portion, it includes an incredibly generous portion of Traditional Charcoal Char Siew. Their Char Siew is definitely da bomb, it has a traditional taste to it as it's roasted beautifully over a charcoal fire formany hours. We like it that they don't slice the Char Siew thinly too, it's cut in the perfect thickness and texture is so tender and smoky! Wanton was good too even though there's no chestnut in it, it's still very flavorful, well soaked in their gravy. ⠀

Truly an amazing and plate of heavenly shiok Traditional Wanton Mee!!⠀ ⠀

Everyone loves their wanton mee and has their favourite place to get their fix. Probably some would point to Koung’s in Geylang as their favourite.

Menu here is simple and straightforward. Wanton mee ($4) and dumpling soup ($3/4/5). I had the wanton mee and requested for additional ingredients (additional $3). It’s rather old school style here. The egg noodles here are firm, thick and springy and I really enjoyed chowing down the noodles. Char siew here is the traditional variant - lean and thin. It’s roasted in a charcoal oven in-house. Although it was lean and had a low fat proportion, the char siew has a sweet, honey taste and tender texture.

I love how they are generous with the lard and the bits are crispy and certainly worth the artery clogging. The sauce is a special concoction of dark sauce, lard and chilli sauce. I had my noodles extra spicy. What’s good is the chilli isn’t so spicy for those who can’t handle their spice and doesn’t mask the flavour of the entire dish.

So what about the wanton and dumplings (shui gao). The wantons have a generous filling of minced pork. Dumplings were decently sized and similar to the wantons except that it had a piece of shrimp and water chestnut. The wrapper was slightly on the thick side and I wished it could be a little thinner and it’d be perfect.
